Sixty-five soldiers stood before them in five rows. There were twelve soldiers in each row and four captains who stood next to their team. Elvis first saluted to Stella and reported respectfully, "Good evening, Mrs. Milton! There are 68 members of the Dark Shadow here, of which three are still on duty. Awaiting your instructions, Mrs. Milton!" Stella looked at their faces, and her eyes turned red. It would be great if Jasper was here right now. Then, she would not have any more regrets. She missed Jasper so much. "Have a seat and break a leg. Thank you all for protecting me all this while, I appreciate your hard work," Stella was touched as she said it. They said in unison, "It's not hard work, it is our job." Stella smiled and said softly, "Let's sit." Elvis shouted, "Sit." The leader of the first row shouted and sat on the first table with his twelve men. Every one of them straightened their chests and placed their hands on their knees.
After all, women were known to be emotional beings. They would always hope that their husbands would stay by their side and spend time with them, especially after having given birth to a child. He didn't even have to do anything, just having him by her side would be more than enough. Stella then said, "You may request leave if anyone of you has family affairs to deal with. You are allowed to have up to three months of paternity leave too. Remember to spend some time with your wife at home." "Mrs. Milton, you are too kind. I want to work with you for the rest of my life," another soldier said. When Elvis and the captains were serving the dishes, they heard someone muttering, "Hey, you should focus on eating. Leave the flattering to me." The soldiers all burst into laughter. It was a lively scene. "Stella, come here for a moment," Suzi asked Stella to come over. "Alright," Stella walked into the kitchen. "There are too many people on one ta
"Did you dream of me just now too?" Bellamy was surprised. All of a sudden, he thought of something. When Jasper was with her, he would dream of the scenes of them being together. Now that he was the one with Stella, would that mean that Jasper would dream of them being together? "I dreamed that you were going to jump into the ocean. I was scared that you would leave me, so I shouted your name and called for you desperately. You seemed to have heard me, because you turned to look at me. It felt as though you were standing next to me by the bedside. I don't know if it's a dream or if it's reality, but I know that I feel scared whenever I dream of you," Stella choked with sobs as she said it. When she opened her eyes, they were already red. Bellamy held her hands tightly and said, "I won't leave. Dreams are different from reality." "You always say that," Stella said in a slightly angry tone. "That is why I am here all the time," Bellamy stopped the car and l
Stella understood. "We have to endure six hours of makeup so that we could make it through the next 72 hours." The makeup artist smiled slightly and closed her mouth without saying anything. Then, she started putting makeup on Stella's eyes. Once her eyes were done, she would look very similar to the person she was going to impersonate. Therefore, her eye makeup would take the longest. The makeup artist compared Stella to the photo after working on her eyes for two hours. She thought that it was enough and took a photo of Stella, "Have a look, is this good enough?" She handed both photos to Stella for her to compare. From the photos, they looked identical, but if one were to look closely, they could see that her face was too stiff. "Thank you, that's enough." Bellamy looked at Stella and smiled. Even his eyes were filled with smiles. When Stella saw how chubby he was, she smiled too. Jasper looked good even when he was chubby. They went t
"We will discuss this after the negotiation," Bellamy squinted his eyes. His gaze was stony and cold. Stella looked at Bellamy thoughtfully. He had a mask on, but he still looked very sinister. "What's wrong?" "Larson is the one who pretended to be me. When the plane exploded on its way to B Country, he, along with four other men, were killed in the explosion," Bellamy said solemnly. Stella's hands were shaking. Something like that had happened before. Jasper's plane had exploded when he had been on his way to the Special Forces. "Who could be behind it? Christian is dead, and it's impossible for Zoah to do that. Is it Quinn?" Stella's voice trembled. "I do not know, but he is very likely to be the one behind it," Bellamy guessed. Stella could not control her emotions. She kicked her luggage hard. The image of the bullet piercing through Jasper's head flashed repeatedly in her mind, and the pain seemed to have numbed her entire bei
"Stella, once we're done with B Country, I will dispose of my identity as Bellamy and resume my identity as Jasper," Bellamy said. Stella nodded, "It doesn't matter to them whether you are Jasper or Bellamy, so please just go back to being Jasper. We could then be together openly." "Yes, let's be together openly and we won't ever leave each other in the future," Bellamy agreed with her words. He wiped her tears and said, "Oh no, your makeup has been ruined. We should leave now." Stella immediately put on her sunglasses. Bellamy held her hand and left the airport together. He made a call to inform the other party of his whereabouts. He took Stella to the car after that. They put their luggage in the trunk of a black Mercedes, opened the back door of the car, and allowed Stella to enter the car first. Stella got in the car hurriedly. There was a foreign driver in the car. After Bellamy got in the car, the driver spoke to him in B Country's
Bellamy leaned against the wall in shock. His gaze was fixed on a distant point as his chest heaved up and down heavily. He recalled the time he had spent with Sean. He had always thought that it was Quinn who had exposed the information. Never had he imagined Sean to be the one who revealed it. If Sean was truly behind it, then Bellamy had only one word to describe him - terrifying. It took his father more than ten years to stabilize his powers. However, he only took two years. On top of that, he did not even stain his hands in the process. "No," Sean said in a low voice. "Of course you will deny it. Seeing how shrewd you are, how could you admit it? Sean, Bellamy is Jasper, are you satisfied with this answer? Once Quinn is dead, no one could challenge your position anymore, not even Jasper. We will prepare to leave the country once were back. Forget about us," Stella warned sternly. "Did you just say that Bellamy is Jasper?" Sean was shocked.
Bellamy blew her hair gently with the hairdryer. He said to her, "I will find a scientific team to study the antidote secretly in case of an emergency. After all, there is no profit from it. Besides, it is a long-term project. Apart from Milton Corp, I am afraid that there is no one else are capable enough to take on this task and yet do not have ulterior motives." "Are you saying that we should be responsible for this?" Stella asked as she looked at Bellamy. "We will do this in secret; we won't let anyone know about it. Who knows, perhaps a biological hazard crisis might arise in the future," Bellamy said sincerely. Stella wanted to live without pressure. It was her dream to live freely with no responsibilities. However, in this world, it is not easy for one to only do whatever they want. Nevertheless, she supposed that it would be alright to take up the mission to develop the antidote. After all, there should be no fight for their deaths or conflict for
